Yeah, you’re missing something alright, and I’m guessing it’s children of your own. Boys have always been potty-trained to urinate sitting down to the best of my knowledge. Urinating standing up is something that boys learn later for a vast variety of reasons, not the least of which is that 2 year olds don’t have the wherewithal to know when a turd is going to drop if they relax to urinate. Trying to teach a toddler to urinate standing up would be frustrating case of putting the cart before the horse for both the parents and the child.
Well, OK, my first is only one, so I haven’t been through it yet. I guess I’ll have to keep looking into it, in order to decide whether to put up a fight about it or not with my wife . . .
But gosh darnit, he’ll be peeing standing up before he can remember not having done so . . .
